document that federal agencies submit to Congress each year
requesting the funding level that is outlined in the President’s FY
2010 budget. This document frequently includes a detailed account of

funding for the next fiscal year, the accomplishments of the past
year, as well as a set of strategic goals the agency hopes to
accomplish with funding from Congress. Below are budget statements
